Every day, the [[algorithm]] generates a new set of coordinates for each 1°×1° latitude/longitude zone (known as a [[graticule]]) in the world. They are randomly placed -- they could be in the forest, in a city, on a mountain, or even in the middle of a lake! You can use this wiki to document the daily coordinates (geohashes) you've been to. | Every day, the [[algorithm]] generates a new set of coordinates for each 1°×1° latitude/longitude zone (known as a [[graticule]]) in the world.

However, if possible, creating some kind of a marker out of nearby materials (i.e. cairn of stones, blair-witch-style 'stick figures', etc.) is encouraged. | When visiting geohash locations, please [[geotrashing|respect the area]] you are visiting.
